Welcome To Prompted 2 Write

I have always loved writing and taught it in my classes, no matter the grade. After retirement, I published several books and began blogging. I love it, but there are days when I can't think of anything to write. When I taught writing to children, I always gave them a writing prompt, making it easier for them. I hope to post writing prompts for all ages. This site will be helpful to homeschoolers as well a classroom teachers. It is for anyone who loves writing or anyone who is required to write. Please let me see some of your writing.

My mother-in-law provided us with many laughs in her later years. Here is just one example. I was driving her to the doctor and she started the conversation:

Her: "My ears are stopped up."

Me: "I'm sorry. What do we need to do about it?"

Her: " I don't know. Brad's ears were stopped up."

Me: "Oh really?"

Her: "Oh yeah, he had to call Fedex out to clean them."

Me: "I did not know that Fedex offered that service."

Her: "Oh yeah, they'll come if you call them."

I figured out she was trying to say he called the medics. There were many more times, but some I can't write on a family friendly blog. The funny part was that she didn't even know she had something inappropriate. Please tell me your story.

LE: My grandmother does the craziest things. Last week she went on in her yard and...

UE: If you knew some of the things my grandmother does, you'd laugh your head off. One time my grandfather found her ...

MS: My grandmother used to be fairly normal. Then one day something happened and she has never been the same. Here's the story..

HS: I love my grandmother--except when she tries to use teenage slang to tell me something. She can't keep the words straight and uses them all wrong. She called my cell phone and tried to tell me about her shopping trip. Here's what she said..

A: Raising parents is much harder than raising kids. At least the kids do somewhat normal things. My parents do the dumbest things and then I have to take care of it. Their latest escapade is...

I hope you have fun with this story. Remember, my goal is to help you stretch your imagination.

LE: I was playing in my yard when I heard a loud thump behind me. I turned around and saw...

UE: My family heard a loud thump in the backyard. My mother went outside to see what it was. "Oh my gosh." We heard her scream. Running to the door, we saw...

MS: My dad and I were plowing the garden. Suddenly the tiller hit something hard and stopped. My dad tried to see what it hit, be couldn't move the dirt. I went to the shed and got a shovel. You will never believe what we dug up.

HS: Jeremy always parked his car in the backyard. That way he didn't park behind one of his parents. His habit of driving fast, whipping around the back corner of the house, and stopping quickly was the talk of the neighbor. "You just wait. One day he will come around that corner and find something he wasn't expecting". The neighbors would say. That day came yesterday. He drove in the driveway, avoided the broken piece of concrete, came around the back of the house, and crashed into...

A: We received a phone call from one of our dear friends, Albert. "You have to come over here. Something has landed in my backyard and I need you." Now Albert is known to stretch the truth, especially if he has been drinking. "Describe it to me." I told him. This was his description.
